-Compact SELF-adapting FLEXible (SELFLEX) Arrays Overview: this project is investigating the possibility of embedding flexible sensors into the design of a flexible antenna array to compensate for surface curvature. Short Introduction and Background

-Antenna elements on a singly curved surface: Required phase correction [1]: [1] R. L. Haupt, Antenna Arrays: A Computational Approach, John Wiley and Sons, Ltd., Hoboken, New Jersey, 2010.

The SELFLEX Antenna

Measurement and Simulation Results Varactor Loaded TL at 2.95 GHz: SMT voltage controlled varactor phase shifter: 1)Manufactured by Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (part number: SMV ) [3]. 2)Printed on a 1.27 mm thick Rogers RT/duroid 6010 substrate (same as the array). [3] Skyworks Solutions, Inc.

Measurement and Simulation Results The sensor circuitry: Manufactured by Measurement Solutions Inc. [2] [2] Strain Measurement Solutions, Inc.,

Measurement and Simulation Results Testing the flexible strain gauge:

Measurement and Simulation Results Varactor Loaded TL controlled by the sensor circuit: Analytical computations Measured phase compensation

The SELFLEX Antenna The manufactured prototype SELFLEX array: Printed on a 1.27 mm thick Rogers RT/duroid 6010 substrate.

A prototype SELFLEX array under test: Measurement and Simulation Results

A prototype SELFLEX array under test: Measurement and Simulation Results

1) A short intro. and background on conformal antennas was presented. 2) The SELFLEX antenna was introduced. 3) Measurement and simulation results were compared – showing that the HPBW of a 1 x 4 microstrip array could be preserved for various bend angles (flexing). Conclusion
